Wow... finally, a Halo 3 fan...

In the TI community, as most people hate Micro$oft, it's typical for many people to hate any game with the Microsoft title on it. Because of this, I think only me and {AP} plays Halo 3. Eeems plays Halo too but only has the PC version. Most other people are Half-Life, UT, Bioshock and Left 4 Dead fans.

Keep in mind my english sucks, though. On Skype it,s generally not a big issue, because the sound quality is very good, but on Xbox Live, I barely understand anything, so I might play without mic x.x

I migth get on sometimes, since I play from time to time. My gamertag is "Omnimaga". I suck at Halo, though, compared to many people on my buddy list. After 1200 games I still only won like 400, but that might be because Halo 3 teams are poorly selected. I always end up with LV 1-10 users, and the entire other team are LV 50 users. It's quite unfair x.x

I just halted progress on Serenity, and a lot of people have been looking forward to it with the same enthusiasm as we are looking forward to Black Mesa x.x

I like Halo but when I have my brother, who could probably go pro at it if he wanted..., to play against the fun gets kind of taken out of it :P Recon looks interesting. (I used to also be pretty good at Halo but then I stopped playing for a while...never got that skill back haha).
Half-Life is fun too. I have it on the computer though, not X-Box.

On the topic of Halo 3, yeah, I still play it.
Gamertag is Nyaar.

Feel free to add me.
I'm not on nearly as much anymore, but when I get on I'm usually on for hours. =)

On a side note, for those who got Halo 2, it is our final ever month of Halo 2 on Xbox Live if you want to play before Microsoft pulls the plug from Xbox 1 Live support. I am sure it's alerady possible to play somewhere else than live, though, probably third party server, but idk how legal it is and if you can get in trouble for it.

EDIT: I'm more happy if you make it for the TI84+ :P

w00t
should've said: I love Microsoft Windows
Last console I bought was a PS2, ain't gonna buy some new untill PS4 comes out maybe

Don't feel like getting a PS3 as I can play most games I want on my computer, which I can also use for school.

For Halo 3 this is how crappy I am in general x.x

(http://halocharts.com/sigs/Omnimaga_03.jpg) (http://halocharts.com/index.php?player=Omnimaga)

There are sometimes some factors such as lag, in which case I avoid Team Swat and Team Snipers games, but even when there is no lag my performances are not consistent x.x. I can win 3 games or be in the top killer lists in a game then for 10 games I'll have a negative K/D ratio x.x

WHAT!?

Lol I love watching random halo vids. I believe I still have some in my favourites. I also had some random stuff happen in games, sometimes, such as getting killed by my own ghost after getting out of it and spawn kills (I had a funny one a while back on Youtube in my favourites but it got removed D:)

NECRO POST! =D
----------------
Just another check (now the the community is bigger) of anyone still playing Halo 3.
I'm still going strong and looking for more people to play with.

Also, I started map making yesterday and just finished a rough draft a few minutes ago (took a total of almost 10 hours) and would like to test it out some while I think up the finishing touches. (with my remaining $135 left in Forge)

Reminder: My gamertag is: Nyaar

I haven't played in a long while actually. I could maybe play a few games with you and other people here. I may start a new gamertag, though, to not get annoyed by some people who keeps bugging me with invite spam everytime I come online.

I usually play team slayer, snipers, swat, zombie, king of the hill, VIP and custom games that are similar, though, not much CTF, assault/bomb nor Team Rockets.

I don't really play much and wasn't really the best but could probably play if I ever decide to renew one of my gamertags. I could probably ask my brother though if you're looking for a challenge.

One thing I like about playing with a party is that it's easier to plan strategies to win. Even when we're not good, sometimes we call do a better job than 4 random good players put together. By nature, good players will team together by default, but no strategy will be formed.

It comes very handy in RTSes, although it may not be as noticeable in deathmatches in shooters
